Platform Computing Reviews

The fundamental problem is that the main products are coming to the end of their commercial life, the clients have mostly either bought the Platform product or their main competitor's product. The management changes direction and accounts around so often that sales specialists just learn about one account and then are moved on to another so there is weak continuity. At a global level management works very hard at building virtual teams to make the proposition stronger, this is not mirrored in Europe. IBM is going through yet another round of lay-offs which creates a political environment with everyone covering their own backs.

Chinese style management, people hang around after work doing nothing because managers did not like people leave early. Most people were from China and did not speak good English including managers who didn't know how to pronounce 'record' of verb and pronounced 'current' as 'Kjurent'. They spoke in Chinese all the time even at the presence of non-Chinese.
